Question

What is the solution of this equation?
-4b + 10 = -2

Answer 1

Answer:

B=3

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−4b+10=−2

Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides.

−4b+10−10=−2−10

−4b=−12

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.

−4/b  −4  =  −12/ −4

b=3

Answer 2

Answer:

b = 3

Explanation:

To check if the answer is right you would substitute.

-4(3) + 10 = -2

-4 times 3 is 12

Use the inverse operation.

-12 - 10 = -2
